It's a first in a town that thrives on flamboyant firsts: Nobu Hotel Caesars Palace in Las Vegas has started taking room reservations for Feb. 4 and beyond.
The hotel bearing the name of star chef Nobu Matsuhisa is the first of five hotels scheduled to be built in the next two years in a $600-million international project.
The hotel, which is in Caesars' Centurion Tower, says it plans to open by year's end though bookings aren't available for dates before February, according to a hotel statement.
Room prices start at $249 plus tax for a Deluxe King room ($299 plus tax on Feb. 14, Valentine's Day) that overlooks the Strip or a garden area. The adjacent restaurant, touted as the world's largest Nobu at 12,775 square feet, is scheduled to open in January.
